Don’t use your front door enter phone release unless you know exactly whom you’re letting into your building. Too often, apartment dwellers are quick to push their lobby door release button only to be surprised by a stranger standing at the threshold of their apartment.

Remember it’s always safer to meet pizza delivery drivers, courier services, furniture delivery men and any other people you’ve never met before in the lobby of the building as opposed to standing in the hallway in front of your private suite. And if you do hear a knock at your apartment door make sure you have a wide-angled 190-degree door viewer installed in your door. This will give you a clear view of who’s standing on the other side of the door before you open it.
